Another new prospect from New Zealand’s country music scene. 

Brother and sister duo Tiana and Sonny Miti, known as MITI, released their first single in 2023, and have been on the grind since then, winning awards and performing on various stages. 

And their talent has been recognised – their newest work being mixed by none other than Taylor Swift’s Nashville engineer.  

The duo is working on an album, of which ‘Wasting More Time On You’ is the first single. 

“We generally hope it does well and connects with a lot of our viewers,” Tiana Miti told Mike Hosking. 

“The song is about, y’know, it’s a country heartbreak anthem, and we’ve gotten pretty good feedback so far about people relating to it.” 

“That’s all we pretty much ask for.”

Is adult ADHD being over-diagnosed? 

A new survey of British doctors shows 7 in ten of the 829 GPs survey believed the disorder is over-diagnosed. 

They estimate more than 80% of patients they refer for assessment end up with a diagnosis. 

But a registered GP believes it's not the same in New Zealand. 

Dr John Cameron told Mike Hosking that based on overseas statistics and criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, New Zealand is probably well under-diagnosing ADHD.

There's a belief we're underestimating how high interest rates will go. 

ANZ has revised its forecast for the next six months, now predicting three hikes to the Official Cash Rate, bringing rates from 2.75% to 3.5%. 

Independent Economics Commentator Tony Alexander told Mike Hosking they'll likely climb even higher, sitting somewhere between 4% and 4.5%.  

He says the Reserve Bank predicts that the economic growth rate will accelerate, the unemployment rate will fall, and as a result, inflation will eventually fall from 4.1% to around 2%, which doesn't really add up. 

Alexander says everyone, including people like him, always underestimate how high interest rates will go during the tightening phase of a monetary policy cycle.
